The EC has created country pages with information about Roma inclusion policies.
Every Member State, except Malta, has drawn up either a National Strategy for Roma Integration or a set of measures concerning the integration of their Roma populations. Each country has its own view and approach on how to improve the integration of its Roma populations and how to access and manage EU funds for vulnerable people, including Roma.
With the aim of making this information available, EC has developed country pages where strategies, contact points, managing authorities, county factsheets and how EU funds can be used for Roma issues can be found.
In the Spanish website, there is information about allocated funds under Structural Funds over the 2007-2013 funding period, as well as the previsions for the 2014-2020 period. Spain's National Strategy and Commission assessment of Spain’s National Strategy have also been published
Two promising practices are highlighted, both of them developed by Fundación Secretariado Gitano. The Programa Acceder, with the objective of achieving the effective incorporation of the Roma population in employment, and the campaign “De mayor quiero ser” whose main objective was raising awareness on the importance of education and the need for all Roma children to complete their secondary education.
